Den ökade individualiseringen i samhället har bidragit till att den sociala rörligheten ökar. Individen är inte lika bunden som tidigare vid familj, kollegor, grannar, arbete samt sin relation till omvärlden. Med hänsyn till detta anser flera sociologer (Beck, Bauman & Giddens) att individen associerar personligt ansvar med sitt öde i det moderna samhället. På detta sätt skapar individen riskh

Att ängs – och betesmarker ger ett öppet landskap och är trevliga att ströva i är ett av skälen till att bevara dessa marker. Att ängs- och betesmarker är nödvändiga för en stor mängd växter och djur är kanske ännu viktigare. Markerna är trots allt bland de artrikaste landytorna vi har idag. På en äng kan det finnas upp till 50 olika växtarter på bara 1 kvadratmeter och man jämför ibland dessa marMeadows and pastures are one of the most species-rich habitats in Europe and Sweden. These ecosystems are dependent on ongoing care to keep their biological and cultural values alive. Farmers who manages meadows and pastures under certain conditions receive financial compensation from the EU. The politically formulated objectives of nature conservation, cultural heritage and biodiversity will, acc

Staten äger ett stort antal fastigheter som förvaltas av dels statliga förvaltningsmyndigheter och av dels statligt ägda bolag. Den här rapporten syftar till att utreda innebörden av de regler som de statliga förvaltningsmyndigheterna har att förhålla sig till vid avyttring av fast egendom men den syftar även till att redogöra för den praxis som har utvecklats inom myndigheterna vad gäller försäljThe government holds a large property portfolio, which is managed by governmental administrative authorities and governmental companies. This report aims to investigate the meaning of the rules that the governmental administrative authorities have to follow when they are selling properties, and it also aims to describe the practice that has been developed within the authorities. The report is ba

Management systems need to be able to stay viable in a changing environment and not become counterproductive because the surroundings have changed. The purpose of this study is to create a concept that can act as a foundation for future management systems. This concept should try to help close the gap between how the management systems are intended to be used, versus how they are actually used in

This study examines the effects of psychological contract breach among Swedish nurses in the public healthcare sector. To gather insight on how nurses themselves experience that they are affected by psychological contract breach, this study takes a phenomenological approach with emphasis on meaning constitution. The sample includes a total of N=12 professional nurses from five different organizati

In this time of global health interventions, preventing borderless diseases, such as Ebola, is a question of implementing global health policies in different cultural contexts. Although these interventions are mediated by international organs, the healthcare workers on the ground are actually those who implement policies.

Integrated silicon photonics is emerging as the most promising route for interconnects and on-chip com- munication to keep up with the constant performance increase of CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) technology. Among the components of integrated photonics, the electro-optic modulators implemented on silicon are suffering from high insertion losses and high power consumption. Due to

Från analogt till digitalt - snabba och strömsnåla omvandlare Dagens digitala samhälle ställer höga krav på prestanda och effektivitet. I samarbete med Ericsson i Lund har en krets för signalomvandling utvecklats. Genom smart design uppnås hög hastighet och låg strömförbrukning som ligger i forskningens framkant. Från analogt till digitalt Ett viktigt byggblock för telekommunikation och videoapAnalog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with high conversion frequency, often based on pipelined architectures, are used for measuring instruments, wireless communication and video applications. Successive approximation register (SAR) converters offer a compact and power efficient alternative but the conversion speed is typically designed for lower frequencies. In this thesis a low-power 12-bit 200 MS

I stora delar av världen är deponering den dominerande metoden för avfallsbehandling. Bara inom EU skiljer det sig mellan länderna, då vissa deponerar över 90 % av sitt avfall medan andra idag deponerar under 10 %. När avfallet i deponin bryts ner bildas metangas, som är en kraftig växthusgas. Denna gas måste därför tas om hand genom förbränning. På senare år har allt högre krav börjat ställas på

This thesis investigates how context-awareness and learning from user patterns could improve the user interaction for a smartphone applica- tion that can control the computer and home and how it could create a smarter more personal experience. It looks at both how a existing cus- tomers would react in three different experiments (a survey, interviews and a prototype of the application), and how no

Den psykiska ohälsan bland ungdomar har ökat de senaste decennierna. Ungdomsmottagningen är en viktig instans i främjandet av ungdomars psykiska hälsa samt i förebyggandet av psykisk ohälsa. Det är därmed väsentligt att den psykosociala verksamheten på ungdomsmottagningen anpassas till besöksgruppen samt dess behov av stöd. Syftet med studien var att kartlägga besöksgruppen hos den psykosociala peMental ill-health among adolescents has increased over the past decades. The youth clinic is an important instance in promoting mental health and preventing mental ill-health. Hence, it is important to adjust the psychosocial work to the visit group and its needs of support. The purpose of this study was to chart the visit group at the psychosocial staff at the youth clinic in Region Skåne. This w
